This is my new mini combustion cannon "The Tornado". It's called that because sometimes when I take off the end cap some of the oust that I use as fuel on the chamber walls is still burning and the flame spins like a tornado.

Well you probably saw Insomniacs thread about the paper darts. I can launch one of those darts about 100 yd. with a good fuel mix. No it didn't take long, I finished it in one day and a couple days of tinkering until I got the spark consistent.

EDIT: For fuel now I use un-metered propane. I just spray some in with a blow torch head. It works really well.
